DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF A PV/WIND HYBRID POWER GENERATION SYSTEM: CASE STUDY OF BURSA PROVINCE

Özet

In this study, a PV/Wind hybrid power generation system was studied with using meteorological data of Bursa province. Two specific years (2011, 2014) were chosen for the dynamic simulations. The designed hybrid system consists of PV panels and a wind turbine. The outcome of the study shows that with the proposed 1 MW PV + 2 MW wind turbine system, it is possible to generate enough electricity to compensate the annual electricity requirement of 450 households which can be considered as a small district area. Levelized cost of energy is found a value between $ 0.413-0.568/kWh. PBP of the system is found a value around 20 years. It was concluded that it is essential to offer adequate incentives for renewable-based power applications to make them economically beneficial.
